After another 12 months of our Employee of the Month initiative, every employee was given the opportunity to choose from all the previous winners and vote for the person they think has continued to exceed all expectations and has gone above and beyond in their role and therefore deserves to win the ultimate prize and be crowned the overall winner.

Carl Barber was one of our October 2021 winners and received the most overall votes from colleagues, confirming him as the winner and employee of the year.

What has made Carl such a worthy winner?

Working tirelessly over very long days, nights and weekends, often dropping their own personal/family commitments, Carl and the team went above and beyond, working together to ensure the continued protection of one of our largest student housing customers, which has over 70 halls of residence with 30,000 bedrooms.

The fire alarm system on this particular customer site protects over 600 students, day and night, and we would like to thank Carl and all Team Members involved for their efforts and commitment to deliver a high level of service to ensure their continued safety.

Carl is a great asset to the business. He is always more than happy to help, and nothing is ever too much trouble for him.

Carl continuously provides innovative ideas to help improve delivery within the department, and has a sheer commitment to all customers.

Above all, Carl is a pleasure to see in the Lowry House office and is always happy to say hello and engage with all colleagues.

Congratulations Carl!
